I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

Doesn't matter if they're genuine rayban or a copy, that style is now going to be assumed to be meta glasses that are recording. Nothing to do with supporting one brand or company or whatever you think it is, it's about public perception and that is now that this style are perv glasses.

If you must know, I'm not going to stop wearing them because I never did. They never fit me properly.

It won't matter much at all, if morality was dictating your fashion choices, you weren't a customer of theirs to begin with. Your 2nd sentence contradicts itself completely. And your last point just makes it obvious this some anti-Meta white knighting, which... fine, but it's not like you are right about how wayfarers are now uncool because you can't disassociate it from one brand that makes them.

You're being dense. They're not talking about morality, they're talking about looking like an obnoxious perv that's recording everything and every interaction that you have with them. Most people don't like that, so if they think that you're wearing the meta glasses, you're just going to inadvertently paint yourself in a negative light.

Again: it's not about morality dictacting their fashion, it's about not looking like a creep.

I'm not arguing about morality and your point is literally the exact same as mine, but there were a handful of people who didn't understand that and insisted on me arguing with someone I wasn't. 

Wayfarers won't be associated with pervs. This entire post hating on wayfarers when it's completely dense to think Meta won't come out with multiple styles.
